GW Bush burbled a lot about "the coalition of the willing" to prosecute
what essentially were his private wars. But where are the leaders of that
coalition now, at a time when it would worthwhile to actually go to war not
necessarily - with - but in Syria? If only to protect the population of
that country that is slowly ground to dust between the forces of ISIS,
al-Assad and a motley crew of militias.
Clinton showed how this can
be done in the Yugoslavia (et al) conflict and the need was not nearly
as great as it is now. A lot more people are dying and getting displaced
right now. Britain, the US and Australia seem totally content to let
Germany absorb the brunt of this exodus w/o so much of batting an eye.
And the rest of the Europeans are cowering not daring to say a peep
about intervention.
